The Spotlight Awards are given to individuals, groups or organizations that may have made a difference in the community in 2018, worked diligently to bring groups together to seek solutions and taken the lead to further the mission of the AOD Partnership. Recipients may have also tackled difficult AOD problems with effective, long-lasting solutions, provided inspiration to others to get involved and taught important lessons through their work.

During 2018, NTC’s Continuing Education team supported the Marathon County AOD Partnership by hosting conferences and bi-monthly AOD Partnership meetings, which brought together 300+ leaders and community members to discuss and problem-solve current issues in the community. Through these collaborations, the College and the Marathon County AOD Partnership worked together to bring awareness, support, and community resources to the issues that are present in the community with the goal of eliminating the impact of substance abuse in Marathon County.

“As your community’s college, NTC is proud to support the organizations that are making a positive impact in central Wisconsin,” said Brad Gast, Dean of NTC’s Business & Industry and Continuing Education. “This award symbolizes a shared commitment that NTC has with the Marathon County AOD Partnership to make our community stronger than ever.”
